Question

Sara and her mom are planning to attend the symphony. An adult ticket is $54. The price of an adult ticket is 1/4 the price of a student ticket plus $25. Write an equation to determine how much Sara will pay for a student ticket.

Answer 1

let the price of a student ticket equal x (as this is the unknown).
if it is know 54$ is equal to a quarter the price of x ((1/4)•x) and then plus 25$, 54 must be equal to (1/4)•x + 25, therefore option 2
